Edge CNAMEs

This type of report provides hits and data transferred statistics for edge CNAMEs on which custom report logging has been enabled.

Custom report logging may be enabled on the desired edge CNAME from the Edge CNAMEs page.

Key information about activating custom reports on a per edge CNAME basis:

• Custom report data logging starts approximately one hour after enabling an edge CNAME's custom reporting capability.

• The coverage for this report will be limited to the set of edge CNAMEs for which custom report data was collected during the specified time period.

Report Details

Generate a custom report by defining the following report options:

Report Option	Description
Metric	Generate a custom report for either of the following metrics by setting the Metrics option: Hits: Indicates the total number of requests that were directed to an edge CNAME on which the custom reporting capability was enabled. This metric does not take the status code returned to the client into account. Data Transferred: Indicates the total amount of data transferred from our edge servers to HTTP clients (i.e., web browsers) for requests that were directed to an edge CNAME on which the custom reporting capability was enabled. The amount of data transferred is calculated by adding HTTP response headers with the response body. As a result, the amount of data transferred for each asset will be greater than its actual file size.
Statistics	The type of statistics that will be shown below the bar chart is determined by the Groupings option. Set this option to either of the following values: HTTP Response Codes: Breaks down statistics by the response code (e.g., 200, 403, 404, etc.) returned to the client. Cache Status: Breaks down statistics by cache statuses.
Time Period	The time period for which a custom report will be generated may be defined. Learn more.

After generating a custom report, a bar chart will be generated for the top 10 edge CNAMEs according to the metric defined in the Metrics option.

The following variables may affect this calculation:

• A custom report will only include edge CNAMEs for which this capability has been activated.
• Was the custom report capability was turned on for a particular edge CNAME during or after the time period specified for the custom report? If so, then the edge CNAME may either be ranked lower than it should or it may not even be included in the custom report.

This bar chart allows a quick assessment of the edge CNAMEs producing the most amount of traffic.

View the amount of data transferred on a specific edge CNAME over the specified time frame by hovering over the desired bar.

Directly below the bar chart, statistics on hits or the amount of data transferred on a per edge CNAME basis are broken down by either cache status code or HTTP status code.

The type of statistics that will be shown is determined by the Groupings option.

To generate an Edge CNAMEs report

1. Load the Custom Reports.

   From the main menu, navigate to Analytics | Custom Reports.

2. Optional. Use the Metrics option to determine whether a report will be generated for hits or data transferred.
3. Optional. Use the Groupings option to determine whether statistics will be broken down by the status code returned to the client or cache status code.

4. Optional. Use the Date Range option to define either a custom or predefined (e.g., This Week) time period for which report data will be generated.
